Will Hutton calls for a reinvention of capitalism through a ‘We Society’ that balances individual agency with collective responsibility. Tracing the ideological shift from post-war social solidarity to the rise of neoliberalism in the 1980s, he critiques the long-term consequences of market fundamentalism—rising inequality, weakened public services, and social fragmentation. Hutton argues that capitalism needs proactive governance, risk-sharing mechanisms, and a strong social floor to thrive. He champions a stakeholder model of capitalism, supported by social science insights, that fosters innovation, inclusion, and sustainability. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, he emphasizes the role of social science in shaping policy, from housing and health to education and AI. Ultimately, Hutton urges social scientists to step up, offering evidence-based solutions to rebuild trust, drive growth, and counter rising populism.
